  • Elia Kazan on Brando's performance in On the Waterfront:

    "If there's a better performance in the history of cinema, I don't know what it is."

  • he looks here a bit like ralph fiennes, to me

  • I think he was the most beautiful actor in the world

  • Even if it was a different movie, nevertheless I'm glad he was never chosen as the rebel. And "Rebel without cause"... It's not that the protagonist is a rebel, he doesn't want to be one. I like Brando as well, and I can understand why he was Dean's idol, but I think the talk about his imitating him is exaggerated; just because they made use of method acting doesn't mean the way they deal with it is identical. I think Dean did a fantastic job in Rebel without a cause, his intensity is scary

  • and he can open his mouth while talking ..

    james dean 4 brokebackmountains

  • I like when he rolls his eyes after he says Talulah Bankhead.She kept sticking her tongue down his throat during their kissing scene. Can't blame her.

  • WB had rights to the book, to use the title, but ended w/no film or full script. Brando did a 5-min screen test in '47: He was given fragments the '40s partial scripts. He wasn't auditioning for Rebel: There was no offer of any part made by the studio. The film, as it later appeared, was the result of a totally new script written in the 1950s that had nothing to do with the Brando test. The screen test is included on a 2006 special edition DVD of the 1951 film A Streetcar Named Desire.

  • So Brando turned it down, and the producers waited -seven years- until the next suitable lead actor came along? Don't get me wrong: If that's what they did, they did the right thing, but -is- that what happened?

  • @lazur1 no they thought he was to old

  • @TheDp321 Actually, it was an entirely different project that never was finished at all, with anyone.

  • tom cruise could play the girlfriend or the pet cat.

  • James Dean is the best! If he were still alive he would of made marlon brando look like a drama school student

  • @jsingh974

    james dean = imitator :) , i know who is brando and who is james dean BUT brando is the BEST actor ever nobody can touch him. if marlon brando didnt came to acting ! hollywood will didn't see james dean , newman , de niro and al pacino.

  • @ahmad201020111 sorry buddy but James Dean is number 1, After only 3 movies he became the most famous actor he even topped brando and brando lived till he was 80 or something but James Dean died at a very young age and became more famous then your friend brando. And Brando copied off Dean, he was jealous of Dean. Sorry but James Dean is the best and Brando pretty much sucks. Sorry but its the truth, go educate yourself.

  • first of all:marlon became most famous actor after his second movie(a streetcar)second:he Has been nominated for Oscars 5 times in a row and he win it.third:He created(METHOD ACTING),Fourth:I cant see James if he was still alive in Stanley in Streetcar or Don vito in Godfather or Colonel Curtis in Apocalypse Now!but Marlon performed all of that roles.Finally:marlon is the greatest actor of all time,so,SORRY you Go and educate yourself because you dont know anything about both of them. It's fact

  • @ahmad201020111 he actually did NOT create method acting, nor was he the first to use it on the screen :) not hating though, he's my favorite actor.

  • @ISuperLoveMovies

    before marlon brando play his role in (a streetcar named desire) hollywood was used( the classic acting) but after what marlon did he changed the acting forever , from the classic to the method , go and read about stella adler and marlon brando then you will understand what i meant

  • @ahmad201020111 Montgomery clift was a method actor too that started before brando, but brando was the one who popularized it... Constantine Stanislavski was the one who "invented" method acting, Adler was Marlons teacher.

  • @ISuperLoveMovies I particularly like Brando's "not being able to act" method of acting

  • @MickeyLove01

    If youre saying that Brando couldn't act then youre crazy. I'll agree that he is a bit overrated as an actor, but his Stanley Kawalski in Streetcar is one of the best performances I've ever seen, and for that time period it was monumental.

  • 0:55 - 1:15 IS THERE ANY MAN LIKE THIS IN THIS WORLD ???

  • wow he was really hot

  • Brando was more rebel than Dean. He buttered his hand then ass fingered a chick in Paris. When winning his oscar he was absent. Instead he sent a native american along to collect his trophy..

    A rebelious man quite known for giving the finger...

  • @MedManTheBrave

    brando was the original rebel, dean was a copy cat

  • @MedManTheBrave Actually SHE fingered HIS ass! lol

  • wimpy voice LOL

  • OMG, this blows my mind. To think Brando as Jim Stark wow.

  • THE MAN.

  • o m g

  • Wow.

  • he said beautiful eyes....twice...

  • @marspirate16 I think they were both BROWN!

  • "i was in canada with...." *sigh*

  • he really reminds me of james franco.

  • 1:08 wow so handsome

  • Brando was this brave Adonis, this Cadillac of men.

  • Brando is HOT!

  • He was one dashing man! I'd do him even if I'm straight! Lol

  • @MorbidygloomRock Yeah!.....straight men don't use the word dashing!

  • i cant tell but marlon sounds and acts as if hes gay

    dont get me wrong but wtf

    also the voice too high but he looks good really good i aint even gay

  • DAM.. FINE AS HELL

  • my god he was beautiful!!! <3

  • I don't find anything wrong with his voice stupid ppl

  • Comment removed

  • he sounds like mj

  • @cellardoor199991 agreed... and they were buddies too ^___^

  • @rainonmebi His son was his bodyguard

  • omfg... *.*

  • omg... brando was soooooooo gorgeous!!!!! ♥.♥

  • Brando wasnt and actor yet and he talks like a girl! and the chinese guy acts like a FANOOOOK!!

  • brando looking 33, playing a teen.

  • he looks kinda like Dave Franco

  • @Dylan230393 Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooo

    He likes soup

  • Brando would still get the role if it was that man hiring him...The Casting Director here is named 'Aldo'....need I say more?

  • Have you seens James Franco in freeks and geeks? I swear that he copied marlon brandos facial expressions like crazy from 0:55 and on.

  • uughh he was soooooo handsome.......

  • he is too smurfin beautiful

    

  • 0:58 oh God

  • James Dean is way better than Marlon Brando... if he had lived longer he might have been the best actor of all time.

  • Comment removed

  • Brando was fuckin' hot

  • i know that brando was deans idol but compairing this performance to deans performance, its in two different leagues. Dean blew it out of the water.

  • @JOKAWILD26

    you heard bullshit that's not true.

  • His voice does not fit his face...

  • @EdNortonisMineLol Indeed...like Beckham

  • I was looking for Brando's Godfather screen test and stumbled upon this.....

    He was a handsome man. He's so handsome it feels somewhat threatening to look at. Feels odd admitting he's as handsome as he is. Like seeing a male deer or something.

  • Oooooh... He was so damn hot! What a beauty!

  • oh my god, his voice. you could tell he was nervous. poor thing.

  • Beautiful ice

  • i dont see any scenes of Rebel with Brando here

  • Marlon Brando, the most handsome man ever to walk the face of the earth.

  • @berry0201 Agreed, but he surely did not age well....

  • @stackableg

    I think he still looked amazing in his 50s, but after that he gained some weight i guess.

  • Looks a lot like James Franco

  • @ArtFlunky in what world!?

  • @chalino19 godfather ftw xD

  • marlon brando was soo hot

  • riverdean7 - it's "would have" OR "would've", NOT "would of".

  • les yeux entre les murs..un etrange appartement ..., les casteurs .

    on est meme plus chez soi.

    chi est chi !

    who is who !!

  • He went downhill, looks wise really quickly . Early to Mid 20's he was really handsome, then 30's he put on a lot of weight, and started going white haired.

  • no human being in this life as charming as marlon brando how can one man be so beautiful

  • Wowza! He is gorgeous!!

  • Gosh he is freakin cute I love his face

  • his voice is about five octaves higher than you're expecting it to be

  • his voice is such a turn off

  • Most actors at the time were either great, or quite good! Both male n female. Marlon, James dean, and the not much mentioned Montgomery Clift were the greats in the 40's 50's, both on Broadway and Hollywood.. exciting times then. Quite different now!

  • i love u marlon always forever near and far we'll stick together every where i will be with u everything i will do for u . say u love me always forever never stop never whatever near and far and always and every where through every thing!<3

  • Wow, the young Marlon Brando looks like Antonio Sabato Jr....

  • wtf he has a gay voice lol

  • i'm so glad he turned it down. yay james dean! :)

  • i'm glad he turned the part down. only james dean could have done the part so perfectly. it fit him to a T.

  • Marlon Brando would have been so much better than James Dean...

  • Men were men back then. Fuck off girl-boys of today. Ew.

  • he looks like Tom Cruise when he shows his profile

  • @linegenrou you mean Tom Cruise looks like Marlon Brando ? ;))

  • 0:55 - 1:15 is all you need to see. They just don't make 'em like this anymore.

  • This is my version of porn.

  • Good lord Brando was so friggin' beautiful.

  • 1:06 my god.

  • i love both marlon brando and james dean. it would have been so interesting to see where james dean would have gone in his career if it wasnt for his early death.

  • During the sexual revolution of the 1970's Marlon told an interviewer that he had once had sex with a man, but it was largely forgotten. His voice sounds tinny in this clip and I suspect that he had voice lessons to better match his gorgeous looks with a less tinny voice.

  • Brando sounds like michael jackson

  • Kind of glad Jimmy got the part though, although I really like Marlon..

  • Good voice ?

  • gosh is he ever handsome. where are these fellas nowadays

  • 0:55 cutest smile

  • i dont know about brando having a great voice. my jaw droped the first time i heard him speak. kind of a turn off but i adapted right away.lol

  • His style reminds me of Pattinson in Twilight

  • @Phattz08 did you really just compare him to Robert Pattinson?

  • @caughtandkilled lol wow just relax there bud. More like Pattinson has attempted to emulate him... didn't mean to offend you there. Don't want the Brando worshippers on my doorstep in white pointy hats and burning crucifixes now...

  • @Phattz08 To be honest i don't even remember what i wrote. And i'm not a worshipper-just very anti bad acting (which includes Twilight actors).

  • @Phattz08 Nice trolling.

  • @xreddragonx whats trolling dude?

  • marlon brando will life for ever!"

  • The asian guy mentioned eyes twice. Someone's in love.

  • @LRSMFittipaldi I don't think anyone can turn gay or acquire gayness but for Marlon, I really gots to think it through....

  • @morph995 i know, i often wonder. well, now women have access to surgeries that often ruin their natural beauty rather than enhance it--Botox, breast implants, god knows what else artificial methods. I think people ate less processed food and less MacDonalds back then too. Nowadays...obesity is common in Western societies. :'(

  • Comment removed

  • Marlon sure acted gay on and off the set. Blah.

  • happy birthday Marlon ♥

  • Fuck Marlon...brando is Awful...Thank God James dean saved that movie...

  • @yosraz1 nice april fools joke! :)

  • I am sure the script was much different back in 1947 which makes the comparison difficult. You also have the rock n roll generation of the mid 50's when Dean was in the role. The post WWII generation of kids were different; the culture was different. I am glad it wasn't made in 1947, as it wouldn't have been as successful. Brando might have been great in the role if he had been 23 or 24 in 1955.

  • there are still men that look like that, they just arent being hired for movies.

  • Wow, you can tell Brando knows he's the shit...

  • DAMNNN! MARLON BRANDO WAS HOTT

  • the right man got the part - Brando is terrible in the screen test

  • Well, when the women get more like women again, then men may get more like men again. After all, ladies first...

  • @rockhammer85 haha touche. i agree we as women have allowed chivalry to die. haha im trying my best to bring real women back

    

  • @rockhammer85 Ahaha!!!LOL!

  • @rockhammer85 lol so true.

  • @rockhammer85

    Uh, can someone say, "Comment Of The Year"?

  • @rockhammer85 booo! lol

  • I couldnt agree more.............@rockhammer85­

  • @rockhammer85 Thank you!!!

  • @rockhammer85 thats so true!

  • @rockhammer85 But men are supposed to take the lead.

  • @BKKaye nope, women first, like when it's time to pay the waiter, the women don't use their equal rights speech to men, they let men pay for them, but they do not want to be controlled. Now you say men have to lead? do women actually know what they want.... no.

  • @bodybuilder718 I hear you. I've been criticized for paying and for not paying for a date. But what I mean is that men need to stop reacting to what they think women want. Get to know the gal and find out if there is a connection, it's got to be mutual. Be honest with them and yourself. Be in the moment and if you enjoyed their company tell em so and tell them you want to see them again and lean in for a kiss, If they don't reciprocate then find someone else. Two dates max.

  • @BKKaye you have to understand, that men are not the problem, WOMEN are, most men, women can tell for the start if he is a player or not, either way, men are not complicated, we are straight forward and direct. This day and age, it is harder for men to find a great girl, no more two dates max. I mean most women can't even cook now! i am not trying to be sexist here, however, men always worked, women need some settlement in that. Most party, and hang out now, home skills just went away.

  • @bodybuilder718 i agree

  • @rockhammer85

    lol if you mean women get more like women, as beauty, sure. but if your talking about society, lets pray to god that men and women never revert to the way they had lived in the 50s.

  • @rockhammer85 THANK you...

  • @rockhammer85 Women only went downhill because men bought into it.

  • the London casting director is so gay

  • Oh man! James Dean and Marlon Brando 2 of the most sexiest men in Hollywood ever!!!

  • @jessg05 I think Billy Zane resembles marlon Brando xd

  • @QueensPrincess08

    I agree!

  • goodlooking men then were real men, not like the poncing posing manwhores of today, brando fought on the streets, he was no fool when it came to standing up physically and later in life physiologically as seen in his interveiws. marlon was a real live man.

  • Good lord he was so gorgeous!

  • wonderful voice

  • why the frick are you guys arguing about brando or dean, smh.

  • Brando didn't have Dean's cool-ness, intensity or charisma. If James Dean had lived, people would have asked "Brando who?"

  • @Kyros show some respect. If you read Brando's auto-biography, he and Dean were buddies, but Dean would try too hard to be like him. It wasn't until Giant that Dean really started coming into his own. Dean was NOTHING like Brando. Dean was a "cripple" (according to Elia Kazan, read his Notes on Directing) because he was always emotionally on the verge of falling apart (you need to see East of Eden). Brando wasn't like that. Brando was kind of a conceited sex-filled talent. So bite your tongue.

  • @filmprojectsonly Don't address your superiors that way, son. Dean was even more method than Brando. Brando was lazy and didn't care enough about the material. Dean cared too much and dilvered stronger and more intense performances because so. Now, stop peddling your dickbeaters on your 20 year old computer and go play in traffic some more. How are those apples?

  • @Kyros Lol superiors? Yes, I suppose a new mac is rather old. Dean didn't care too much. You're going off of what you see in his performances. He needed to come into his own character and method which is what he received from Stella Alder and Elia Kazan (both of whom worked with Brando first). Of course Brando didn't care, it was a part of his persona you idiot! I suppose you've never heard of method acting? Lol, thank you though for assuming that I'm an old man with nothing else to do.

  • @filmprojectsonly Can't you read? His persona was laziness and a lack of competence, retard. Dean was a method actor, Brando tried to be one. Stop splashing spit onto your pink colored keyboard. It's had enough. ;-)

  • @Kyros You're so eloquent! You're providing quite the lol. Go back and actually read directors and actors notes and then you can call me a "retard". Keep telling yourself all you want, but until you can find a way to repudiate Brando's long history with Kazan and Adler that spanned far longer than Dean's (due to his untimely death) and brought forth films like A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront, you're welcome to keep on hacking the same arguments. They're wonderful to read. :)

  • @filmprojectsonly You're still tripping and falling all over yourself. You offer nothing of substance as usual and have yet to make any real point. Brando's advantage was his life. Dean didn't have that. Durr dee durrr! Think before you type or I'll have to come back here and piss all over your poor self esteem some more. :-)

  • @Kyros Well, little man, if you don't deem experience from Kazan and Adler to be of substance when it comes to arguing the quality and versatility of two method actors, then I have no choice but to continue laughing at your "durr dee durr" comments. :) But I suppose you have nothing more to offer than crude remarks and paper thin personal observations in place of historical and literary facts and criteria. It's ok though, if this is what you do for shiggles to get through life, have fun.

  • @filmprojectsonly Well, woman. Which "historical and literary facts" are you referring to? Surely you're not confusing that with your own personal bias.

  • @Kyros your such a fucking marc..

  • @dsteppn69 And you've got some dick-sucking lips.

  • @Kyros you have red colored carpet

  • @dsteppn69 Your name in prison was "shit stain".

  • @Kyros are you kidding me? James Dean emulated Brando's "cool-ness". Brando was Dean's idol. How can you say Brando doesn't have intensity? Have you even seen any of his movies? I'll say no. If you have, then you obviously know NOTHING about acting. Go watch A Streetcar Named Desire, please. You know you're magnetic and charismatic when girls are rooting for the abuser instead of the abused woman.

  • @Kyros Well, hadn't Marlon Brando already won an oscar by the time East of Eden came out? He was a huge box office draw, too. I don't think that would have happened.

  • 0:55 to 1:16
